Low Speed Engine Room W-Xpert RT-flex50DF Simulator

W-Xpert RT-flex50DF Engine Room Simulator is based on typical solutions and presently used in medium engine rooms such as LNG carriers, handy size tankers and bulk carriers, as well as feeder container vessels. The propulsion machinery is based on Dual Fuel Electronically Controlled Winterthur Gas and Diesel RT-flex50DF, low speed, 5 cylinder configuration, 2-stroke, turbocharged engine with Controllable Pitch Propeller. The technology is based on the low pressure gas system concept which fulfils IMO Tier III emission. The electric power plant includes three (3) diesel generators and one (1) emergency generator.

The simulator is designated for training marine engineers, students of maritime academies as well as for different types of marine vocational training centres. The simulator introduces 3D model of Engine Room, has universal features and gives realistic hands-on experience in ship environment. All diesel generator engines, propulsion plant and equipment behaviours are based on real respond.

Model description

W-Xpert simulator offers a detailed simulation of Dual Fuel engine behaviour in regards to operational aspects, its functionality and performance. The simulator includes the following systems: Power Management System which contains all standard functions, such as load dependant start/stop, load sharing, synchronising, and load shedding.

The Alarm and Monitoring System allows the operator to control all propulsion system equipment parameters.

To meet the requirements

W-Xpert RT-flex50DF engine room simulator has been developed to comply with STCW Code:

Plants overview

All operations in W-Xpert simulator can be done in specific system installation and compartments. Each system is presented as a real vessel’s schematic drawings/compartment with ability to control on screen. The most important components of the scheme can be zoomed and ed to a proper location in Engine Room to operate.

Main Engine RT-flex50DF plant’s overview includes all essential system installation which can be divided in eight (8) separate sections.

Example view of the virtual Intelligent Combustion Monitoring interface- the sitution shows one cylinder not firing. Barographs are visualising calcutated by the thermodicnamic model specific fuel consumption and NOx emission deviation in relations to the reference conditions.

W-Xpert RT-flex50DF main features:

Highly realistic simulator for engine room training. All engines and propulsion plant behaviours are based on real respond. In order to create the impression of working in the real environment, it provides 3D sound which can be listened to on 2, 4 or more speakers.

Familiarization with electronically-controlled common-rail technology and flexibility of the fuel injection and exhaust valve operations which allow users to improve the combustion process in various revolution ranges.

Controllable pitch propellers allow operator to make effective and optimal use of the characteristics of the main engine in line with the ship’s purpose. The mathematic model offers visualisation of CPP performance.
